QUINCY — When your team is successful, other coaches sit up and take notice.A 10-8-1 record, district title and trip to the regional tournament earned Quincy girls soccer coach Tim Hart Haberl district coach of the year honors.But the Oriole mentor deflected mych of the credit for the honor to his team.“It’s humbling, but it doesn’t happen without my team,” Hart Haberl said. “A lot of people make it happen.”The Orioles also handed out a number of team awards recently, including:* MVP - Ashton King;* Hustle Award - Haley Bean;* Defensive Player of the Year - Kelsey Bean;* Offensive Player of the Year - Cailyn Hines;* Most Improved - Haley Askew.Hart Haberl said King, who recently graduated, was truly a big part of what the Orioles were able to accomplish on the field. And as a senior, King, a center midfielder, could always be counted on not only to give her best effort, but also to spur her teammates to do the same, Hart Haberl said.King will be playing soccer in college at an Ohio school, Hart Haberl added.Kelsey Bean, meanwhile, a senior defneder, was a valuable piece of the Orioles’ team with her defeneive skills, Hart Haberl said.“She made a number of game-saving defensive stops for us this season,” Hart Haberl said. “Her leadership and knowledge of the game will be missed.”Haley Bean, a freshman, is one of the cornerstones of a bright future for the Oriole girls, Hart Haberl said.The younger Bean was one of the Orioles’ most versatile players, playing forward, midfield and defense at various points in the season, She scored a pair of goals.
